LONDON---England coach Trevor Bayliss is
hoping the one-day international series victory
over Pakistan will act as a springboard for Twen-
ty20 World Cup success.
Jos Buttler was the undisputed star of England s
series-clinching win over Pakistan, hitting a cen-
tury from just 46 balls - the fastest in England s
one-day international history and joint seventh
on the world list.
England s 3-1 triumph, after being beaten by
six wickets in the first match, also included out-
standing performances from openers Alex Hales
and Jason Roy.
Each hit maiden ODI centuries, and every bats-
man in the top six has passed 50 during the series.
Roy s 102 on Friday at the Dubai International
Stadium set the stage for Buttler to hit 10 fours
and eight sixes in a sensational display.
It powered England to 355 for five - Joe Root
also made 71 in a stand of 140 with Roy - and
they then bowled their hosts out for 271 in 40.4
overs, with spinners Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali
taking three wickets each.
Bayliss believes team spirit, as well as collective
ability, is a key factor.
"They re enjoying their cricket. They re enjoying
each other s company and each other s
success - and it s showing out on the
field," he said.
"There s been some fantastic innings
in this series.
"Root and (James) Taylor have also
done extremely well - everyone in the
top six has contributed more than once.
"So too have the bowlers, and it s
added up to a fine performance."
Bayliss believes it is a success which
demonstrates England s white-ball poten-
tial - with the ICC World Twenty20 a
high-profile assignment to come in India
in March.
He added: "It s great to win away from
home, especially on the sub-continent
against a team like Pakistan who are play-
ing in conditions they know very well.
"They should have a lot of confidence
from the way they ve played, going into
the three Twenty20 matches - knowing
they can play in these conditions against
this quality of opposition.
"It s another step on the way to that
World Cup in March and April."
The first of three matches in the short-
est format will take place back in Dubai
next Thursday.
"We want to play this Twenty20 series
and win that as well as we possibly can,
but it s also a bit of a testing ground,"
Bayliss said.
"We ve got a few players that haven t
been involved in this series that could
get a run in the Twenty20 series."
There is a longer-term ODI objective
too - the 2019 World Cup on home soil,
in which England hope they can at last
break their duck in a global 50-over tour-
nament.
"Our goal is obviously a World Cup in
four years time, but there s no use think-
ing about that right now," Bayliss said.
"We ve got a lot of hard work to do
between now and then.
"Yes, it s good to win matches and
series like we did, but we can t rest on
our laurels." (AP)
